Mimi na jamii yangu tumejisajili. The process was painful but i was determined to succeed. So, i exercised patience. The queues were not long but one person was taking 20-30 minutes to hudumiwa. Woe unto you if you go last minute

Take home message to me was Patience is key when accessing government of Kenya services.Dealing with GoK has been and will always be difficult and a horrible experience. It is an endurance sport that should be admitted to the olympics(my opinion). You will get upset and feel like slapping someone, but you will have to kula humble pie(jeuri yako) style hiyo hiyo.

Don't walk into huduma centre expecting services of an air-conditioned CFC-Stanbic banking hall.

Yes, they did but were a bit casual about it. They also asked for birth certificate number for my 8yr and 6yr olds. My kitinda mimba(3yrs) did not qualify. Note that kids over 6yrs will have to be physically present for picha and biometrics collection.The more reason you should go early because i cannot imagine the chaos of adults together with their children lining up on the last-last days trying to beat the deadline.

The colonialists got us really good. People are queuing for this number and when you ask why, "because the govt said so".

Me I have no intention to register unless I can see a benefit. Say, the huduma card becoming my id and Dl combined.

These threats will amount to nothing. One of these junior govt chaps like the CAK CEO will find themselves in Kamiti for contempt.

Thank you

Of course. But the gava will just frustrate you when you go to ask for them passport etc etc utangoja mpaka expiry date ifike. And people will register to avoid such frustration.
